Adebisi Shank Announce Return After 10 Years

Adebisi Shank are reuniting after a decade away.

Ten whole years on from announcing their split, the Wexford/Dublin instrumental rock trio took to Instagram today to reveal the news.

“This is the return of a band called Adebisi Shank,” the trio wrote. “New songs. New shows.”

When they went their separate ways back in 2014, the band – comprising guitarist Lar Kaye, bassist Vinny McCreith and drummer Mick Roe – said: “We hereby announce the end of a band called Adebisi Shank. From the three of us to all of you, thank you for coming with us on this crazy journey.”

They added: “This Thursday and Friday in Whelans, we will play on an Irish stage for the very last time.”

Further details about the reunion are expected in the coming days. Check out the band’s short but sweet announcement, and the band’s 2011 second album, This is the Second Album of a band called Adebisi Shank, below.
